Banner-SS15 spring-3

Is there anything better than a nice long run in the spring? The warmer weather is a welcome respite from the long winter months, but the heat and humidity that comes with summer hasn’t arrived quite yet. It is a good time to refocus on your fitness goals, start training for an upcoming race, or simply head back outside. If you’re looking for motivation to return to the road or trail this spring, perhaps some new gear will help. Here are a few new products to get you started.

The Acceleritas4 from Icebug is designed to be a minimalist trail shoe that still provides plenty of support and traction on a variety of surfaces – west or dry. These shoes weigh just 7 oz, feature a flexible midsole, and a tread pattern that is meant to push dirt and mud away from the shoe. Built for the runner who likes to get off the beaten path, and doesn’t mind getting a little wet along the way, the Accleritas4 are a perfect choice for changing spring conditions.
